I think we will see Harry in NEWT Potions, as well as Ron, Hermione 
and Neville - probably Draco too, so the interaction between all of 
them can continue.

One of the difficulties of the books is that we are only seeing 
things through Harry's perspective..we know he is blaming (wrongly)
Snape for Black's death, but we are not seeing Snape's reaction on 
being told Black died...I'm sure Snape is affected by it somehow, 
even if it's the loss of an adversary and I for one will miss the 
little insulting conversations between the two - they certainly made 
for some humorous reading!

Getting back to Harry though, he learned in the first book that Snape 
was the one protecting him from falling off the broom, but never even 
thought to go thank him for it - instead, he continues to see Snape 
as the evil person he's told he is...also, in one respect Harry is 
spoiled and cosseted - he continually breaks the rules, yet is 
rewarded at the end for doing so - is it any wonder Snape sees some 
of James in Harry?  What punishment did Black receive for the prank 
he played on Snape?  What punishment did James receive for hanging 
Snape upside down?  None it seems...
